No Crust Racing

Pretty critical missing piece of info.. And does it fit RB heads would be the next one...

That's a head off the car though and talks about putting cushion under the valve... Also being an Evo I have no idea how recessed those valves are compared to 26. Can anyone else comment?

Valve Spring Compressor for RB26 - Head On My tuner doesn't have a suitable tool to put my valve springs in with the head on. Kelfords said this tool is the go - YA9140B - http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/parts/blue_point_valve_spring_compressor_tool_ya9140b.htm I've also seen this version: http://www.fishpond.com.au/Homeware/Schley-Products-91400B-Univ-Valve-Spring-Compressor/9999065475933?utm_source=googleps&utm_medium=ps&utm_campaign=AU&gclid=Cj0KEQjw76jGBRDm1K-X_LnrmuEBEiQA8RXYZyoVyljO04nCnoXDOS1Pqk9navIpzlAgE6w5r3LkHtcaAj4X8P8HAQ Any other options out there before I pull the trigger and buy one?

It's like you didn't​ even read my post, just replied as fast as possible lol I'll copy paste the relevant slab of text again, plus will push my post count up #sickbro "Cheapest and fastest way to get the "look" would be just to paint the current caliper. If I'm gonna pull calipers off, I might as well see what cheapo upgrades are around. Same thing I do with every other mod. This is a middle ground, still cheap, no rush on caliper restoration as they are already off the car, and end up with better brakes as a bonus for minimal outlay." After I've sold my front setup the change over is minimal to me given i I get all new hardware (assuming rebuilt calipers and new rotors) and better brakes and who doesn't like that? Don't worry, I'm not gonna show up to the meets or track days and pretend I'm cool because i have Evo parts, it will be our secret. Edit: woops not to you Rob, you managed to sleaze that post in there while i was typing on the shitter

Will do Nah not seduced and nah not looking to fill the rim more, purely an exercise in cost effective options. Car has no trouble pulling up now and was able to do a good 5 hot laps at winton without issue (ferodo pads and 2 piece rotors) it was only when I did a couple 8 lap stints they got a bit hot and I ate into the rotor a little. It won't be tracked like that again, maybe a logic day or something, so I don't "need" bigger brakes. If I want red calipers anyway, and Evo calipers are not only cheap, but better than mine, nothing to lose by swapping given I can cover the cost selling my current ones and ed up with better calipers, bigger rotors, and will be fresh and red like I want. 35 brakes 3-5 times more exensive Wrong, but why would that matter anyway lol Cheapest and fastest way to get the "look" would be just to paint the current caliper. If I'm gonna pull calipers off, I might as well see what cheapo upgrades are around. Same thing I do with every other mod, which is why the Silvia has so many new parts everywhere - pull one thing off, replace/restore everything around it and don't do the labour again. This is a middle ground, still cheap, no rush on caliper restoration as they are already off the car, and end up with better brakes as a bonus for minimal outlay. Fitted splitter, rear spoiler, painted bonnet, guards, bumper, and boot lid, powdered coated wheels, changed hoses in engine bay, painted shit in engine bay, bought hard pipes and customised then painted for engine bay, bought fancy fasteners, radiator guide, etc etc, all for looks primarily lol Hardly the first time I've wanted to spend time or money to get the type of look I want. I know the Evo gang is too cool to care so I won't tell anyone you were here in this efames thread

Will just PM you direct next time

Found this table on the AlphaOmega site for anyone else - scroll right down like I should have. http://alphaomegaracing.com/p/119/c/73/Z33/ALPHA-OMEGA/Evo-350mm-Brembo-Front-Brake-Adapter-Kit-Version-3.html

Doesn't answer all questions and was relating to 33R, I wasn't sure if they are identical between the models. So the Evo 9 rotor is actually smaller diameter but thicker, is the benefit in the caliper itself being better then? I see they use an external hard line between sides. Are you saying rear is the same between GTR and Evo or rear is the same between all Evo models? I'm assuming adapter is needed for Evo X calipers and rotors, is it also needed for Evo 9 calipers and rotors (if there's any upgrade in that). I can see hat height is different, so assuming a bracket is needed. What's "efames"? Edit: Nevermind: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=E-FAME and yes definitely in it for fame. I will cross post to Facebook later for more.

Evo calipers on 34R I don't like the gold colour of the standard calipers and as they are chipped and marked I had been considering painting them red. I was looking around for some pre-done ones for a nice easy swap and came across threads talking about Evo 7 - 10 calipers being better and using a bigger rotor - and given the price, might be a fairly neutral cost swap plus I can take my time freshening them up before they go on. Just trying to work out which calipers and rotors are the easiest fit as there seems to be some size differences and talk of adapters/drilling hubs etc. My car already has 2 piece rotors up front, but I'm happy to buy new ones if the rotor size is bigger on the Evo. Are the rears any different?

I was mainly using 4th and 5th, Different ratios so can't really compare. Pus I'm not as big a hoon as you

Really? that's way more than I expected? That would be about what I used?

Hah, that's awesome

Well seems my car is about on par with what everyone else is seeing so fair enough. Will just have to run 98 for the longer cruises. I'll just have to put a big fuel cell in the boot for some extra capacity lol

Didn't say it was bad, just wanted to know what others are seeing so I know if it's about right. I made the choice to run e85 for the advantages and can switch at any time. Cams will be no different, so pro's some con's and all good

I might have to do a 98 tank just to compare and so I know what my max range might be for any overnight cruises etc.

Fair enough, dem thirsty imports.

Yes and wideband, as mentioned I can just run on 98/any blend there of. Just interested in others e85 consumption numbers.

That sounds about bang on what i got from a run out of town for an overnight stay, just cruised out at 100km/h and cruised back. So realistically 20-25L per hundred is not unusual at all when having some fun?

E85 Fuel Consumption General question around what level of consumption people are seeing when running E85. I had a fairly full tank when I went for a cruise on the weekend through the hills, did about 175-200ks or so and had about quarter of a tank left (R34 GT-R with around 350rwkw). When I did a track day I had a full tank plus 80L with me and ended up with around half a tank left in the car and all jerries emptied after 5 or so 8 lap sessions of Winton, so 25 or so k's per session? I can run the car on 98, but of course less power etc, but I'm just curious what others are seeing as I'd like to do some longer cruises and I'm thinking I might only be able to do so on 98. There's very little E85 around here too (Regional Victoria) so I keep a 200L barrel in the shed

Is that a known weak spot?

I wasn't actually launching, just rerevving it up for the noise and a laugh. Having another conversation at the moment which suggests that the real potential issue is the oil pump. So while this was fun, I'm not looking for a rebuild any time soon

Only got one clip of anti lag and no flames in this one, boys told me they're very obvious when it does it though​, will get a night clip for extra rice points. ALS rally would work well on the track, for cruising at 7/10ths it's actually more intrusive as it cuts your ability to add your own throttle while it's firing. I played with the duration and engagement points and got it running well, but is most effective when pushing harder. Exhaust temps reached 740 peak during the most spirited part of the drive.

I do indeed

Lol I'm off for a cruise through the hills tomorrow morning, was going to leave it on for giggles. Not hard to switch off if needed. See what happens.

No idea, too scared of breaking getrag to find out. Let me know when you try it
